Vasopressin vs. Noradrenaline for low blood pressure after heart surgery
This trial compares two medications, vasopressin and noradrenaline, to see which one works better at raising blood pressure in patients who develop dangerously low blood pressure (vasoplegic syndrome) within the first day after heart surgery. The goal is to find the safest and most effective treatment to stabilize blood pressure and help recovery.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07164911Recruiting
Heart failure rehab: who benefits most?
This study looks at what helps people with heart failure get the most out of a cardiac rehab program. It aims to find out which patients improve the most after completing phase II cardiac rehab.
CorbieAges 40–75 - NCT07164833RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a drug to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This study tests a new medicine, BX-001N, to see if it can prevent kidney damage during and after heart surgery for aortic disease. It is for people with moderate kidney problems who are having planned surgery that stops the heart briefly.
DaeguAges 19–90 - NCT07168421RecruitingPhase 4
Landiolol to prevent fast heart rate during major surgery
This trial tests a short-acting medicine called landiolol to see if it can prevent dangerously fast heart rates during and after major surgery. It is for people who have heart risks and are having a planned non-cardiac surgery.
BernAges 45 years+ - NCT04696523RecruitingPhase 2
Xenon gas for brain injury after a ruptured brain aneurysm
This Phase 2 study tests whether xenon gas can reduce brain injury after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding caused by a brain aneurysm). It aims to help people who are very sick right after the bleeding by improving brain function outcomes.
Helsinki, HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT07157670Recruiting
Heart health study after stem cell transplant
This study looks at heart problems that can happen after a stem cell transplant from a donor (allogeneic). It aims to understand these risks better so doctors can help patients stay healthier after transplant.
ParisAges 15 years+ - NCT07159074RecruitingPhase 2
Testing tilmanocept for heart inflammation in sarcoidosis
This study tests whether a tracing agent called tilmanocept can help doctors see inflammation in the heart caused by sarcoidosis. It may provide a new way to diagnose and monitor cardiac sarcoidosis without invasive procedures.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07164677Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after open-heart surgery
This study tests a nerve block (an injection near the back muscles) to see if it helps control pain after open-heart surgery. It might be a good option if you are having planned heart surgery through a cut in the middle of your chest.
SamsunAges 18–80 - NCT06867926Recruiting
Heart rehab and its effect on DNA and inflammation
This study looks at whether a cardiac rehabilitation program can reduce DNA damage and inflammation in people with coronary artery disease. It may help patients understand how exercise and lifestyle changes can affect their heart health at a cellular level.
KayseriAges 18–65 - NCT07154394Recruiting
Heart amyloid and function in Alzheimer's disease
This study examines whether amyloid plaques in the heart affect heart function in people with Alzheimer's disease. It uses brain amyloid PET and MRI scans to explore a potential link.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07154381Recruiting
Hybrid PET/MRI for heart amyloidosis imaging
This study uses a hybrid PET/MRI scanner to take detailed images of the heart in people with amyloidosis. The goal is to see how well this scan shows the buildup of amyloid protein, which could help doctors better diagnose and manage the condition.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 40 years+ - NCT06958029Recruiting
Heart rhythm after heart surgery study
This study looks at how often a fast, irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) happens after heart valve or bypass surgery. Knowing this could help doctors take better care of patients after these procedures.
Khon KaenAges 18 years+ - NCT06137547Recruiting
Preventing low blood pressure during heart surgery with HPI
This trial tests a new method (called HPI) to prevent dangerously low blood pressure during planned heart surgery. It is for adults having bypass surgery or valve surgery, but not for those with certain heart rhythm problems or needing emergency surgery.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07131631Recruiting
MitraClip for leaky heart valve in heart failure patients
This trial tests if the MitraClip device helps people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve. It uses a special MRI to check how the heart responds to treatment.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07133984Recruiting
Heart imaging study for patients with low heart function and coronary artery disease
This study uses cardiac MRI to look at the heart in people with weakened heart muscle and blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors improve treatments like bypass surgery or stents.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07130968Enrolling by invitation
Heart and lung function study with exercise test and five-year follow-up
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work during exercise by using a special test called a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Researchers will follow you for up to five years to see how your health changes. It may help you understand your heart condition better and get more personalized care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07116733RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two anesthetics for heart bypass surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (desflurane gas vs. propofol IV) during coronary artery bypass surgery to see which one is better for your heart. It might help patients who are having planned bypass surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07116343RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief through chest tube medication after heart surgery
This trial tests whether giving a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) through the chest tube after open-heart surgery can reduce pain. It may help patients recover more comfortably.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07110415RecruitingPhase 4
Yangxinshi tablets for heart disease with reduced heart function
This trial tests whether Yangxinshi tablets can help people with coronary heart disease and some degree of heart failure. It looks at improving heart function and safety over the treatment period.
Haozhou, AnhuiAges 40–80 - NCT04755764Recruiting
Compare blood-pressure medicines in early pregnancy

- How do I know if I qualify for a cardiac trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiac trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
